Does heartburn count?? I have heartburn like 24/7, and every doc I've been to says just take Tums!

BlueCrayola

Why don't we have a fund raising foundation like Breast Cancer and AIDS? We need a cure. I am sure women die from PCOS complications everyday. No one knows if I am right because there aren't enough scientific surveys

-PCOS/IR (almost all symptoms)
-Depression
-Anxiety
-Overweight
-Joint Aches, chronic neck and shoulder pain (I think stress-related)
-Herniated disk and degenerative disks in lower back and Hip Pain
-Migraines (severe)
-Allergies
-Dizzy Spells/Hot Flashes
-Chronic Kidney Stones
-Ulcers
-Poor memory/Foggy Brain
-Hypoglycemia
-and I'm sure there's more!

I'm 25 and I'm falling apart!!!! We are all a mess here, huh?

Kinda makes you wonder exactly what all is related to PCOS.

MrsTweety

This makes me sad, we are all so young to have all this happen to us, but at least we are alive and feel the sunshine upon us.
Other than PCOS symptoms, I have high liver enzymes, am borderline diabetic, and have slightly elevated high blood pressure, other than that I seem to be o.k.

Okay, here I go :

* Headaches
* Dermatitis covering my scalp (forget the correct term for this type - not dandruff)
* Low immunity
* Carpal tunnel syndrome
* Bad eyesight (long sighted, short sighted, lazy eyes, stigmatism and a few other things thrown in for good measure)
* Asthma
* Kidney problems (doctors unable to diagnose exact condition as I object to a biopsy, but they believe it may be Nephritis - spelling?)
* Allergies
* Sexually Frustrated (diagnosed by my better half)
* I am also at risk of developing Anemia due to bleeding 3 out of 4 weeks every month
* Excessive mood swings - really happy and chirpy one second and ready to kill 0.34 milliseconds later

And of course last but not least, PCOS and all it's symptoms - the mood swings probably belong here too.

This is all I can remember at the moment.

OMG, I FEEL like a hypocondriac !
